J. Sefton, who makes the most of his situation by exploiting the black market. When two prisoners attempt an escape, Sefton is the only one who bets against. Other prisoners suspect an informant, and the likely suspect is Sefton. Holden won the Oscar for Best Actor; the film received additional nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Director.<p> <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th><b>Name</b></th><th><b>Occupation</b></th><th><b>Birth</b></th><th>Death</b></th><th><b>Known for</b></th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/246/000088979/"><font size=-1>Neville Brand</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>13-Aug-1920</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>16-Apr-1992</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Birdman of Alcatraz</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/788/000350735/"><font size=-1>Richard Erdman</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>1-Jun-1925</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>16-Mar-2019</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Leonard on <i>Community</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/166/000023097/"><font size=-1>Peter Graves</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>18-Mar-1926</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>14-Mar-2010</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Mission: Impossible</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/210/000022144/"><font size=-1>William Holden</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>17-Apr-1918</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>16-Nov-1981</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1><i>Stalag 17</i></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/563/000347519/"><font size=-1>Harvey Lembeck</a></td> <td><font size=-1><center><nobr>Actor</nobr></center></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>15-Apr-1923</nobr></tt></td> <td align=right><tt><nobr>5-Jan-1982</nobr></tt></td> <td><font size=-1>Cpl.
